== Introduction ==

People live in many types and styles of homes, but not all of them require the same amount of energy to
maintain a warm interior temperature throughout the winter.

== Project Statement ==

Using four different kinds of homes, this project will determine which one requires the least amount of energy to stay a certain temperature indoors throughout the winter, and will therefore be the most economically and environmentally efficient. We will use the total surface area that is losing heat per home every month, and with it, determine the total amount of heat lost. The four different kinds of homes we will compare are stated below.
* An apartment
* A townhouse
* A house
* A penthouse

Once heating energies are known, we will compare all four and determine the most energy efficient mode of living in a cold
area.

== Goals ==

* Determine the relative heating costs to maintain a warm interior temperature of four different homes.
* Using the cost of energy to heat a home and the amount of energy needed per home per month, come up with a monthly bill for each case and compare relative costs and efficiencies.

==Assumptions ==

Assumptions:
* Walls of all homes are of the same size, shape, thickness and are made from the same material
* Windows are all single pane, made from the same material and have the same thickness
* Heating is from the same source and, thus, have the same cost per kilowatt hour. The internal temperature will also be identical.
* The exterior temperature for all homes are also identical.
* The homes are perfect black body objects, thus have an emissivity of 1.
* The temperature of the ground is the same as inside the homes. (no heat loss through ground)
* The temperature of adjacent homes to the townhouse is the same as inside the townhouse. (no heat loss through two walls in townhouse)
* The temperature of adjacent homes/spaces (below, above, and 3 sides) to the apartment is the same as inside the apartment. (no heat loss through three walls, the floor and the ceiling)
* The temperature of adjacent homes/spaces (below, and the 3 sides) to the penthouse is the same as inside the penthouse. (no heat loss through three walls and the floor)
* The sun strikes the windows at a constant 45 degree angle above horizontal.
* The sun strikes with the same intensity for all four homes

== Introduction ==

People live in many types and styles of homes, but not all of them require the same amount of energy to
maintain a warm interior temperature throughout the winter.

== Project Statement ==

Using four different kinds of homes, this project will determine which one requires the least amount of energy to stay a certain temperature indoors throughout the winter, and will therefore be the most economically and environmentally efficient. We will use the total surface area that is losing heat per home every month, and with it, determine the total amount of heat lost. The four different kinds of homes we will compare are stated below.
* An apartment
* A townhouse
* A house
* A penthouse

Once heating energies are known, we will compare all four and determine the most energy efficient mode of living in a cold
area.

== Goals ==

* Determine the relative heating costs to maintain a warm interior temperature of four different homes.
* Using the cost of energy to heat a home and the amount of energy needed per home per month, come up with a monthly bill for each case and compare relative costs and efficiencies.

Surface Area of a wall (m^2): Length of wall (m) x width of wall (m)

Surface Area of the ceiling (m^2): Length of ceiling (m) x width of ceiling (m)

Total surface area (m^2): Number of walls x Surface area of a wall (m^2) + Number of ceiling x Surface area of ceiling(m^2)

Number of walls/ceilings in which heat escapes:

House: 4 walls/1 ceiling

Townhouse: 2 walls/1 ceiling

Apartment: 1 wall/0 ceiling

Penthouse: 1 wall/ 1 ceiling
